Free short courses to help teachers in the classroom
Soon, educators will have the opportunity to enhance their skills through free microcredential courses dedicated to phonics instruction and classroom management.
These courses, backed by evidence and crafted by experts, aim to empower teachers and positively impact student outcomes.
The Albanese Government is allocating over $3 million to the University of Adelaide for the development and delivery of these courses.
These free microcredentials will serve as crucial professional development avenues for teachers, school staff, and educational leaders.
Furthermore, these microcredential qualifications will offer teachers credit toward post-graduate study awards at the University of Adelaide’s School of Education.
This initiative aligns with the National Teacher Workforce Action Plan and extends the Government’s Engaged Classrooms program, which provides free classroom management resources to educators.
These online microcredential courses are set to launch next year, marking the first phase of a $5 million investment in evidence-based microcredentials for teacher professional development.
Quotes from Minister for Education Jason Clare highlight the courses’ benefits, emphasizing their support for both new and experienced teachers and their potential to enhance student learning outcomes.
